------------------------------------
Summary: Make it possible to build Derby using JDK 9
Key: DERBY-6856
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6856
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build tools
Affects Versions: 10.12.1.1
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
Derby can't be built with JDK 9. Java 9 introduces new JDBC classes like
java.sql.ShardingKey and methods which refer to these new classes.
In addition, project Jigsaw has created a new way to name classes (see
http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/220). This breaks the PropertySetter build tool
which we use so that old JVMs can compile Derby and so that Derby can be
compiled to run on old JVMs.
It is likely that we will need to leave this issue open throughout the
development cycle of Java 9.
